Subaction addFolder

[gselvag]

According to schema the subaction addFolder is added. But it doesn't work as expected. Is there any possible update on this issue.

The subAction "addFolder" is still not working but it's included in the schema: https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/site-design-script-actions.schema.json. Any news about the issue?

Agreed. This does not work

I've used this many times and it has worked for me. What issues have you been having? (The initial issue is 2y old, so likely no longer the actual issue.)

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/site-design-script-actions.schema.json", "actions": [ { "verb": "createSPList", "listName": "Test List", "templateType": 101, "subactions": [ { "verb": "setDescription", "description": "This is the description" }, { "verb": "addFolder", "path": "TestFolder", } ], "version": 1 }

the above schema adds a list called "Test List" with no description or subfolders.

oddly enough the following will set the description:

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/site-design-script-actions.schema.json", "actions": [ { "verb": "createSPList", "listName": "Test List", "templateType": 101, "description": "this is the description", "subactions": [ { "verb": "addFolder", "path": "TestFolder", } ], "version": 1 }

there is no way I can a site script to actually make sub folders.
